Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Hallieford, VA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hallieford who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
